My chicom mechanical switches are quite reliable, omron copies.
They are not too accurate, and the mechanical assys are terrible, in terms of machinist parts.
0.01-02 mm +/- in repeatability/accuracy is terrible.
For my cnc lathe, industrial quality.
But for routers, they are much more than good enough.
(My lathe is for sub-micron or 1 micron repeatability.)
Cheap 5$ optical limit switches provide about 2 microns accuracy, fairly easily.
